How to make WH-question # WH Questions for beginners

 WH-question = তথ্য জানতে চাওয়ার প্রশ্ন।
Example: Where do you live? — তুমি কোথায় থাকো?

The charts below use তুমি. In polite conversation, use আপনি and the matching verb: আপনি কোথায় থাকেন?

1. Choose the right question word — সঠিক প্রশ্নবোধক শব্দ বেছে নাও

Word	বাংলা অর্থ	Ask about	Example	বাংলা অনুবাদ
What	কী	A thing or activity	What is this?	এটা কী?
Who	কে	A person	Who is your teacher?	তোমার শিক্ষক কে?
Where	কোথায়	A place	Where is your school?	তোমার স্কুল কোথায়?
When	কখন / কবে	A time or day	When is your birthday?	তোমার জন্মদিন কবে?
Why	কেন	A reason	Why are you happy?	তুমি খুশি কেন?
Which	কোন / কোনটি	A choice	Which colour do you like?	তুমি কোন রং পছন্দ করো?
Whose	কার	Ownership	Whose bag is this?	এটা কার ব্যাগ?
How	কেমন / কীভাবে	Condition or method	How do you go to school?	তুমি কীভাবে স্কুলে যাও?

2. How to build a WH-question — প্রশ্ন তৈরির নিয়ম

Here, subject means the person or thing you are talking about: you, he, she, they, Rafi. Base verb means the basic verb: go, eat, play.

Situation	Pattern	Example	বাংলা অনুবাদ
Identity, condition or location	WH + am/is/are + subject?	Where are you?	তুমি কোথায়?
Present habits and actions	WH + do/does + subject + base verb?	What do you eat for breakfast?	তুমি সকালের নাশতায় কী খাও?
Past actions	WH + did + subject + base verb?	Where did you go yesterday?	তুমি গতকাল কোথায় গিয়েছিলে?
An action happening now	WH + am/is/are + subject + verb-ing?	What are you doing?	তুমি কী করছ?
Ability	WH + can + subject + base verb?	What can you cook?	তুমি কী রান্না করতে পারো?
Future actions	WH + will + subject + base verb?	When will you come?	তুমি কখন আসবে?
Past condition or location	WH + was/were + subject?	Where were you yesterday?	তুমি গতকাল কোথায় ছিলে?

Start with these three common patterns:

• Where is + something? → Where is my book? — আমার বই কোথায়?
• What do you + verb? → What do you want? — তুমি কী চাও?
• What are you + verb-ing? → What are you reading? — তুমি কী পড়ছ?

3. Choosing am/is/are and do/does — কোনটির সঙ্গে কোনটি বসবে

Subject	Use with identity, condition or location	Use with present actions
I	am → Why am I late? — আমার দেরি হলো কেন?	do → What do I need? — আমার কী প্রয়োজন?
You / We / They	are → Where are they? — তারা কোথায়?	do → Where do they live? — তারা কোথায় থাকে?
He / She / It / One name	is → Where is Rafi? — রাফি কোথায়?	does → Where does Rafi live? — রাফি কোথায় থাকে?

After do, does, did, can and will, use the base verb.

Incorrect ❌	Correct ✅	বাংলা
Where does she lives?	Where does she live?	সে কোথায় থাকে?
What did you ate?	What did you eat?	তুমি কী খেয়েছিলে?
When will he comes?	When will he come?	সে কখন আসবে?
What can she cooks?	What can she cook?	সে কী রান্না করতে পারে?

4. More questions with HOW — How দিয়ে আরও প্রশ্ন

Question phrase	বাংলা অর্থ	Example	বাংলা অনুবাদ
How old	কত বছর বয়স	How old are you?	তোমার বয়স কত?

How far	কত দূর	How far is your school from here?	এখান থেকে তোমার স্কুল কত দূরে?
How tall	কত লম্বা	How tall are you?	তুমি কত লম্বা?

How many → things you can count: books, apples, students.
How much → amounts such as water, milk, rice, or a price.

5. Asking about almost any topic — প্রায় যেকোনো বিষয় নিয়ে প্রশ্ন
